This kills the trust

I’m starting to think some time traveller came back from the future, gave the Nobel prize to Obama and is now going through the waybackmachine to watch the meltdown

Probably one of the oldest if you think about it. Flint for tools and ochre for ceremonies and decoration were dug up pretty early on

Milk is pretty amazing, animals turn something that we can’t eat and we turn it into cheese and if you it put on a pizza it gets turned back into a vegetable

Pretty sure that was the apostle Paul, but what ever

I can’t remember which podcast it was on, but some one was saying they expect a lot of Americans to immigrate to Russia in '28.

Kinda funny that he’s doing all this as a hail mary to sort the mid terms out, but it’s working against him. Wonder what will happen after the November dust has settled

What do you mean exit liquidity?

I don’t know much else about her voting record, but hasn’t she always been supportive of the release of the Epstein files even going against Trump and the rest of the republican party ?

Small edit for missed word

Probably why the the 3 day special operation is into its 4th year

I blame you RFKJrsBrainworm, why did you have to eat the part that processed logic?

Most priest’s are required by law in Australia to be cleared by police and any church workers or volunteers are required by law to report anything suspicious. Training in identification of bad behaviours is also required

Scaramucci is gonna be pissed, he loves that title

You’ve never had pork knuckle

Can still get cheap raw whole chooks for about the same as tomatoes or apples here in Australia

I dunno about where you live, but price per weight turnips are usually the most expensive vegetable even when in season. And they still manage to taste meh when roasted and seasoned

Start irrelevant, tankies

Yeah, but it gives Donny a chance to blame Ukraine for being the reason Russia can’t uphold its end of the bargain. He’ll use this excuse to further distance the US from Ukraine and it’s allies

I’m not arguing that they didn’t have an industrial base, they didn’t. But they had access to huge resources, courtesy of colonisation of the previous regime, which is probably partly why they only took ~30 years to be the #2 industrial party in Europe. Probably helped that the competition had been bombed to the stone age. And circling back to East Germany, if you want to talk about colonial plundering, that the USSR stole most of their industrial capacity. Which would go some way to explain why the DDR experiment failed in ~50 years

Japan began industrialisation before their poorly thought out adventures, but the industrialisation probably did influence their decision making I’ll give you that.

Two counterpoints

The USSR inherited the largest land empire in history, which was built by a feudal if not colonial power. It was self sufficient in terms of food and minerals.

Secondly Japan was able to build an industrial power post Meiji reforms with very little in the way of natural resources. Taiwan and South Korea did so as well, albeit with financial support from the USA.
